Wow, NOAA is forecasting quite a bit of rainfall for the lower MS valley the next 7 days. Will probably bring relief for drought areas in the South though not too much for the Southern plains.

That will help weaken the Vortex and split.
where is the vortex going now? I'm losing track. Seems like the extreme cold will be limited to Canada.

Check out some CoCoRaHS reports.. How far is Becket from you? They got 4.6" of new snow on ground. Snow depth at time of report was 5.5". Westhampton got 3.0". Looks like a lot of areas missed out.
Becket is up in the hills; different weather, usually snowier. Easthampton is in the valley; should be similar to me. Williamsburg slightly higher but not too different. 1.7" to 2.0". And with the warm ground, a lot melted on impact, so fits with the 1" it looked. When for a hike up a small hill today, was definitely snowier higher up though still not much (3" on the ground). The volatile January was mediocre for keeping a snowpack.

Looking at the 850mb temps and the surface anomalies this morning it's pretty negative across southern Canada
True but very few people live north of 49N in both Ontario and Quebec,
probably about 90 percent live from Quebec City at about 47N to Windsor at 42N,
which is only one degree north of where you live in SE CT.

Curious, because I don't know and might find it interesting, what is the total population for all the areas I circled.


I checked the one north of Lake Superior at -26°F (Geraldton) right now and found 4600 people live there. That's like a town near me. Sioux Lookout at -20° has 5200 people living there..


Also remember... these are just where the stations are, there's more population in between them.


I don't know how they do it to be honest. Not sure I like consistent sub zero F temps. Wonder what the lows were today.



Current temps 10pmCST

People move out once they get old enough usually....Saskatchewan's population has been stuck around 1M since the 60s.

4 Current Maps this morning...Lots of moisture on the map. Waiting for it here. Lots of Virga too.


1. Current Radar and Metars. That blue outline over North Carolina is a discussion for heavy freezing rain. See on right.


Ignore those snow metars in Georgia, it's well above freezing at 5000' (+7C) so it shouldn't be snowing there. Probably mistaking ice pellets. Surface IS in the low-mid 30s.







2. Here's Jackson County Georgia.. 32° and snow but with it above freezing aloft so it's not snow falling. Should be sleet or ice. Just an error in the station ideintfying whats falling.





3. 850mb temps and CAD.... It's Weak but there. (Cold Air Damming). Getting eroded since it's not strong enough and there is a southerly wind coming up





4. 925mb temps (2500'). Highlighted the freezing line.. You can see the CAD as well here.

Redding reached 79°F yesterday; it's at 40°N, almost the same latitude as NYC. Some parts of Washington State reached 60s. Forecast temperature departure map in the tweet. Very cold air in the plains, milder than average in the Northeast. Colder in the southern Appalachians, cold air damming not letting go.

I was careful to say Ontario and Quebec....western Canada is almost all above 49N
as the US border is at that line of latitude. Only southern Vancouver Island is slightly
south of 49N. Thankfully the US let us have the entire island (but wouldn’t let Canada
have Point Roberts

Ontario has a population of about 14 million ...about same as Illinois.
Of that 14 million more than 13 million live south of 49N

Quebec has a population of about 8 million
and of that 8 million over 7 million live south of 49N

Both provinces are gigantic but most people live in the far south.
Even Sudbury in Ontario is considered to be in northern Ontario and it is only at about 46N,
the other large northern Ontario city, Thunder Bay is at about 48N

And they are big....Quebec is twice the size of Texas,
Ontario is larger than California, Nevada, and Arizona combined.

Those places you circled in Ontario and Quebec are mostly small,
not so for western Canada of course, but keep in mind
combined population of Ontario and Quebec at over 22 million,
is more than all the other provinces and territories combined.
